The Gospel according to John

Grace And Composure

Paul ParkJanuary 19, 2025

Passage: John 18:1-11

After praying for his disciples, Jesus goes to put into action what he just prayed for—to guard his disciples and to offer himself as a sacrifice to redeem us from sin and death into eternal life in him. We now formally enter what is referred to as the "Passion narrative" in the Gospel according to John. In this scene of Jesus' arrest, John carefully expresses that Jesus was fully in control of this event. No one takes Jesus against his will; he willingly offers himself as the sacrifice and heads to the cross. In this scene, we see an amazing example of grace and composure in a time of distress. Jesus demonstrates the importance of grace in his mission. How then should we—as followers of Jesus—respond to the brokenness of this world?
